szúrták

Szúrták is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they stabbed" or "they pierced." It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb szúr, which denotes the act of stabbing, piercing, or stabbing through with a pointed instrument. The form is used in narratives or reports to describe a stabbing carried out by multiple subjects in the past.

In Hungarian, the verb szúr is transitive and often appears with a direct object. The past tense for the third person plural can appear as szúrtak or szúrták, with szúrták typically used when the object is definite or when a specific act is being referred to. A common construction is szúrták meg, where meg indicates that the action occurred to and into the object. For example: A támadók háromszor szúrták meg az áldozatot. This sentence conveys that the attackers stabbed the victim three times. Other variants include szúrták a földre, szúrták át a falat, etc., depending on the context and the object involved.

Related words include megszúrni (to stab through, to jab), megszúrás (a stabbing or piercing, a stab wound), and szúró (sharp, piercing; related noun and adjective forms). The term szúr is of native Hungarian origin and forms part of a broader set of verbs describing piercing actions.

In usage, szúrták appears primarily in descriptive or reportive prose, including news reporting, legal descriptions, and fictional narratives, to specify that a stabbing was committed by multiple actors in the past.
